Sharee + Joel // Melbourne North-Side Wedding

Fb-Button

I loved so much about Sharee + Joel’s day. Their rockin’ style (particularly Sharee’s bridal jumpsuit), their awesome choice of venues (character-filled homes, The Fairfield Amphitheatre, Long Play for pre-reception drinks, and the delicious Pope Joan), Sharee’s DIY bouquets and boutonnieres, Joel’s cat socks that bore an eerie likeness to the couple’s beloved pet ‘Roast Beef’ (seen hiding in the wardrobe, below), the donut-tower wedding cake, the ‘get-to-know-each-other’ games for the reception guests (wedding guest trivia bingo is a stroke of genius)…

And then there’s the fact that they’re complete legends. As was every person I spoke to throughout the day.

I always have fun on the job – but this one was next level.

“When the wedding blogs insisted we find a photographer we cliqued with, we both thought the prospect pretty unrealistic – then we met Lucy. It was love at first Skype.
On the day Lucy exuded relaxed professionalism, excitable calm, and effervescent stealth. The moments she captured were similarly contrasting, fun and moody, just how we wanted them. Every expression she shot perfectly captured the person wearing it; every object and scene plunges us back into the depths of our awesome day. 
Looking back, we fondly remember Lucy as a mate that we got to share our day with and still fist-bump each other at just how lucky we got to snag her.” – Sharee + Joel<VENDOR CREDITS

PBS Drive Live 2015 // Black Cab + GL + Lowtide

Fb-Button

I don’t get a lot of time for my music photography (my first love) these days – it’s hard to fit it into the craziness of a busy summer wedding season. But whenever my friends at PBS FM Community Radio call, I come running.

The PBS Drive Live is a week long series of live on-air performances, featuring the cream of the local music scene. This year I was honoured to crawl around in the studios whilst shoegazers Lowtide, Electronic funk/soul duo GL, and epic drone and electronic outfit Black Cab played their sets. All three acts put on phenomenal shows.

Here’s my view of what went down.

Jack Charles // Editorial Portrait for Broadsheet

Fb-Button

The above image is still one of my all time favourites of my own work – actor, elder, musician and national treasure, Jack Charles.
It was captured in 2010 (before this blog existed) whilst Charles was on a break from rehearsals for the hit theatre production ‘Jack Charles vs The Crown‘. We only had a few short moments to get the shot, but that was all that was needed.
His hands were white with clay – much of his time on stage he spent behind his pottery wheel; a reference to the strength that his love of the craft brought him throughout his time in jail.
My dear friend Shelley Blake wrote the accompanying piece, featured in Broadsheet.
